Proverbs 11:1–11
aA †false balance is abomination to the Lord:
But †a just weight is his delight.
2 bWhen pride cometh, then cometh shame:
But with the clowly is wisdom.
3 dThe integrity of the upright shall guide them:
But dthe perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
4 eRiches profit not fin the day of wrath:
eBut righteousness delivereth from death.
5 The righteousness of the perfect shall †direct his way:
But the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright gshall deliver them:
But transgressors hshall be taken in their own naughtiness.
7 When a wicked man dieth, ihis expectation shall perish:
And jthe hope of unjust men perisheth.
8 kThe righteous is delivered out of trouble,
And the wicked cometh in his stead.
9 An jhypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour:
lBut through knowledge shall the just be delivered.
10 mWhen it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth:
And when the wicked perish, there is shouting.
11 nBy the blessing of the upright othe city is exalted:
But it is oooverthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
